I used to be an enthusiastic gargler of Google's balls but they enshittified just like everything else.

Takes a big person to admit a change like that.

Is it just me, or has autocorrect on phones also gotten way, way worse? When would I ever want to type 'thbnks'?

Google Maps as well. Very inaccurate at times.

Google Maps is always dead on for me. I regularly drive very long distances across the US. The time estimates are within minutes of accurate even when there are sudden or extreme backups like in Los Angeles. There's plenty to criticize Google for, but it isn't Google maps for me.

I switched to DDG and then to Kagi based on all the praise it gets here. So much better than Google!

alansuspect ,

I keep hearing about Kagi, are they reputable? I moved from Google to DDG and I do a fair bit of searching so I would be interested, but I guess there's a bit of a one-company-knowing-my-search-history going on (totally unironically).

I haven't done extensive research, but as it's a paid product, they have the user's interest in mind, instead of ad revenue.

Just tried looking up if it’s safe to light a fireplace fire after having had a sinus surgery. (It’s very cold here in Seattle tonight and I had septoplasty/FESS/turbinate reduction yesterday afternoon.)

All my results were about smoking cigarettes and a result for whether it’s okay to box after surgery. Not a single source to suggest a fire being safe or not.

This is why I use Bing Chat for specific questions.

"Hello, this is Bing. I’m sorry to hear that you had sinus surgery and that you’re feeling cold. 😟

According to some sources, it’s best to avoid exposure to smoke, dust, and other irritants after sinus surgery, as they can interfere with the healing process and cause inflammation. Therefore, lighting a fireplace fire may not be a good idea for your recovery."

Bing Chat provides sources to the claims so you can verify:

That is really good to know! Thanks so much for the heads up on this! Never knew this was a thing.

Kagi is paid service, but the results are so good!

edit: fix typo

"Notably, Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo all have the same problems, and in many cases, Google performed better than Bing and DuckDuckGo by the researchers' measures."

Click bait headline. I see they're good at SEO themselves.
